Wildcats corralled the rebound.

the first meeting since they were swapped in a blockbuster trade,
scoring a career-high 37 points as the Denver Nuggets outlasted the
New York Knicks 119-114 in double-overtime on Saturday night.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) – Bobby Ryan scored twice and Jonas Hiller
made 43 saves to help the Anaheim Ducks win their sixth straight
game, 3-2 over the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday night.

aren’t enrolled there. Advocates say home school families pay school taxes and deserve access to sports teams. Opponents, including state teachers and superintendents groups, say it would wreck eligibility requirements and leave public school teachers, students and their families resentful.
